Waking Up - Why?

Matblack · 20-04-2008, 08:19

Why, as I get older do I wake up at the same time at the weekends as I do in the week?

I used to be able to sleep for England, sleeping in till 11 would not be unheard of but now even if I stay up late my internal alarm clock wakes me up at about 7.30 which is the same time my radio goes off in the week

same happens to me Mister MB! Though, if on long holidays my body clock can start to change and I will wake up later (though tend to go to bed much much later... so theoretically I still get the same amount of snoozage).

All in all I'm not sure. Maybe our internal clocks are settling down into a better rhythm?

One for focus magazine I think!

It depends on your body clock. As I usually have to get up 7am everyday I usually wake up around that time even on the weekends and just can't get back to sleep unless I'm exhausted. Once I'm awake that is it I might as well get up otherwise I'll get slapped and poked for disturbing Kitten.

It happens to me too, it's most annoying!

The exception to that is for the first few weeks after I got out of hospital I could have very very easily slept until the afternoon.

It happens to a lesser extent (I can sometimes have a nice long sleep) when I'm in my own bed but when I'm not at home the chances of that happening are usually slim to none.

It's not that early really! Besides it means you can enjoy the day and have some fun. I've already managed to complete 2 errands that needed doing, it means I have a whole sunday to myself to do what I want with! That's the one blessing of getting up regularly at stupid o'clock it means you don't waste your weekends

You're an early bird anyway though aren't ya Frenchie?

I used to be the same, MB.

Not any more though, I now find I can manage a nice lie-in at weekends without any trouble. The trick is not going to bed until about 2AM though

I wake up but I can nearly always manage to go back to sleep

Sunday is the only day I lay in now, up at 6.30 ish during the week and up at 8am on a Sat to get to the gym by 9
